> Java > Object oriented code done right Pick one. But in all seriousness, Java is definitely underrated amongst many who are working with the trendier technologies. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done, and it's a solid platform with phenomenal tooling. I don't think "Python, Ruby etc. don't have equivalent performance" is actually very important though. In practice, the availability of developers in a particular market, legacy code, and static typing & refactoring tools probably have much more to do with Java's success than performance.
